Sponsoring U15s tracksuits **UPDATE**

EDIT See last post for update

--------------------------------------------------

I have been offered four tickets to see Squeeze on Thurs 9 Dec (7pm) at the IndigO2 - Block 3 Balcony. (four seats together in a row) Face value 4 x £35 = £140

All four are available to the highest offer with any money raised going towards Bromley Addicks sponsorship of one of CAFC's Academy teams.

I'll leave the bidding open until Thursday 11th 5.00pm.

Please only bid if you can, and intend to, pay.

Brunello

I'll start with £100

Curb_It

sorry deleted that post because i see you stated the price.

am there already!

Henry Irving

Thank you Brunello £100 is very generous IMHO but I hope we can get some higher offers so as to increase the amount of money we raise for the Academy.

Curb_It

I edited my post. they probably were 35 quid but with all booking fees etc its 38.

You are right Curb it, £35 plus £3.50 booking fee so £154 cost.

Chirpy Red

£200 bid.

Henry Irving

Thanks Chirpy, very generous of you.

Henry Irving

Anyone going to go head to head with Chirpy for the tickets?

Henry Irving

looks like £200 is going to win it unless.......

Henry Irving

Can't believe no one else wants these tickets. £250 anyone?

Chirpy Red

It's amazing what you find down the back of the sofa.....

Henry Irving

No one with the balls, or wallet, to take Chirpy on?

bidding closes at 5.00pm today.

The anonymous, by their choice, donor has not only sent me the tickets but also a cheque for £100 towards Bromley Addicks fund raising for the Academy.

Fantastic gesture from them and of course from Chirpy too.

Anyone else who wants to donate to Bromley Addicks Academy fund, before the CL fund raising juggernaut gets moving, just send me a whisper or you can donate at one of our meetings or meet me at a game.

Curb_It

Is it Mr Tillbrook himself? Doubt it but anyway what a nice gesture. Well done Anon.

Chirpy you're safe im in the standing section.

I might be safe but will you be when I do my Phil Daniels bit from Quadrophenia?

Henry Irving

Are there a few bidders waiting for 4.59 to make a last minute bid.

Oh, the tension : - )

Henry Irving

Well Done Chirpy Red.

Thanks again to all the other bidders (well Brunello) and to our Anon donor if you ever read this site.

A set of tracksuits for one of the youth teams is £600 so we are half way there.

Chirpy Red

COOL(For Cats)! I was TEMPTED to bid again as I wanted to make sure I got them. I asked the wife if she wanted to come with me and she said TAKE ME I'M YOURS. It beats another night in with COFFEE IN BED or working in the shellfish factory where all I seem end up doing is PULLING MUSSELLS FROM A SHELL........

Enough!!!!

Curb_It

yes enough indeed! Im there with 9 others. No doubt you'll see me/hear me!! will be in the pilot beforehand most probably.

paulbaconsarnie

Curb_It

No idea. The Lightening Seeds are support also.

Is there anywhere that shows sky sports at the O2? going for my freebie meal at Wagamama first.

KBslittlesis

When hubby & I were in the Outer Hebrides last week we listened to this gig from Liverpool. It was brilliant! Jo Wylie even gave us a mention when i emailed in saying we were listening & that i'd seen Squeeze back in the day on Blackheath!

red_murph

Curb_It

Henry Irving

An update on this.

Thanks to Bromley Addicks members, Chirpy and two generous donors from CL we now have enough to sponsor one of the youth teams.

More news soon.

Chirpy Red

And it was an excellent concert. Good news all round. :-)

Brunello

Well done HI

AFKABartram

Well done all concerned

Henry Irving

A cheque for £600 handed over to Steve Avory and Richard Rufus plus the current U15 squad yesterday at half time.

Thanks again to all the CL and Bromley members who contributed. Every little bit helps and every membership or raffle ticket matters.

Hope to have pen pictures of the squad (who all looked huge for their age) soon so we can track their careers.

Thanks to Matt Wright for organising.

We'll be fund raising again when Chris Powell visits Bromley on 10th May.

Update.

Photo's of the handover (minus me thankfully) along with a write up from Steve Avory will be in the Huddersfield programme and there will be something on the OS during the week (so you sceptics will have to believe it then).

Thanks again to everyone who helped via donations, bids, memberships, raffles etc.

Henry are you planning Bromley Addicks to sponsor the U15's next season as well.
or the U15's and another age group as well?

Instead of doing so many player sponsorships

The plan is to sponsor the same set of players next season so it will be the U16s then, then the U17s the year after so we can track their progress.

We'll still sponsor some first time players shirts as well, pay for the goodie bags for the Yougn Addicks Xmas party and buy a Valley Gold membership assuming we can afford it all.

Curb_It

How many players does Bromley Addicks do for shirt sponsorship?

Henry Irving

3 this season Jackson, Worner and NE39

Have visions of 12 months time, 60% of the U16s getting the boot and HI standing at the Sparrows Lane entrance pulling a sad face and saying "hard luck son, you'll bounce back. Can i have my tracksuit back please"

Henry Irving

Won't happen. We picked the U15s as they are the cream of the crop. Most are playing for the U16s already.

And what would I want with a 2nd hand trackie : - )

Forgive my ignorance, but who is in the pic? Recognise Steve Avory, but who are the other adults handing over the cheque?

On the OS. Is that any different to what was in the Huddersfield programme?

Henry Irving

Thanks Adam,

The guy is the check shirt is David Cable, one of the Bromley Addicks commitee, the guy in the scarf is is a lifer so I will let him ID himself.

No idea who the tall guy in the suit was.

Henry Irving

Scoham, there was more in the programme from Steve Avory about the U1Ss playing for the U16s etc
